(Translation: from P.Oxy. 8) To my sister, mistress Dionysia, from Pathermouthis, greeting. As you sent me word
on account of the registration about registering yourselves, since I cannot come,
see whether you can register us. Do not then neglect to register us, me and Patas;
but if you learn that you cannot register us, reply to me and I will come. Find out
also about the collection of the poll-tax, and if they are [hurrying on with] the
collection of the poll-tax, pay it and I will send you the money; and if you pay the
poll-tax, get the receipt. Do not neglect this, my sister, and write to me about the
registration, whether you have done it or not, and reply to me and I will come and
register myself. I pray for your lasting health, (Addressed) Deliver to Dionysia from
Pathermouthis.
